Impressions in the Wutach Gorge

Highlight • Viewpoint

You should not be afraid of heights. The view is wonderful and there are even places to sit on some stones. Fantastically beautiful!

Wutach bridge

Highlight • Bridge

A somewhat newer bridge – much more stable than the other wooden footbridges that you cross during the tour.

Wutach resurgence

Highlight • Natural Monument

Here, the water that seeps away a few hundred meters upstream at the old Rümmelesteg resurfaces in several places.

Gauchach Gorge

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

The Gauchach is for me personally the nicer part of the gorge! Here you often walk very close to the water, sometimes it is even necessary to walk over stones …

Löffingen Castle Mill

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Unfortunately, the castle mill closed today on Monday, but you have to take a break in such an idyllic place.

Ensch Gorge

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

The narrow paths through the gorge are regularly slippery even in dry weather. Smooth and moist limestones can also be dangerous for experienced hikers. After prolonged rains, landslides, rockfalls and path breaks and the resulting closures are possible.

After rain comes sunshine:

That was the motto of this tour. We'd just arrived and completed the first few meters when it poured with rain!

Hold on and keep going!

The first section wouldn't have been possible without some slipping without suitable footwear.

At the end, the sun finally came out, which added variety to the circuit.

June 21, 2026,3 Schluchtenwanderung ab Bachheim 👣☀️📷👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨

Grabbed my sweetheart at 7:30 in the morning, put on hiking clothes, packed my backpack and off we went.
Down into the cool Wutach gorge and then into the Gauchach gorge. A little refreshment at the mill 🥛☕️🍻 and then up the Engeschlucht. The entire route is only accessible with hiking boots, as some sections are very slippery.
Great tour …

A muddy affair today... As we arrived at the Wutach Gorge, a thunderstorm began. We used a lovely little cave in the rocks as shelter. The storm only lasted about 10 minutes, after which we were able to continue on dry (at least from above). The path was often muddy but passable without any problems. At the end, the sun …

June 14, 2023,Drei Schluchtenweg in Bachheim>Wutachschlucht >Gauchachschlucht>Engeschlucht

An ideal tour in summer temperatures, which are currently prevailing. The calm, the sound of running water, very relaxing. On partly narrow paths, initially quite flat along the Wutach, alternating with bridges over the Wutach.
The Gauchach Gorge is just as eventful as far as nature is concerned. The third part is the most demanding, here you have to overcome …

A hike through 3 gorges from Bachheim.
Partly exposed areas that require good surefootedness.

Stopping off is also possible 🍺🍽🍵

Very nice, varied hike through the Wutach, Gauchach and Engwschlucht gorges.
In the last third there was a significant climb on uncomfortable, slippery ground - easy to do in good hiking shoes 👌🏼💪🏼😍😎
